We’re bringing Texans together onto one team to take power back for working people.

I hope folks are getting some sort of value/inspiration out of the Artemis mission, being a kid that was very interested in space and rocketry and watching challenger in class, and then watching the world low key give up on crewed space missions other than iss for 40 years kind of left me too jaded.

1. An incredible bill is moving fast in Maryland protecting transgender students.
It would apply to ANY "program or activity," and would even include private schools. This would include sports, bathrooms, and more.
It even has a private right of action.

Wild that it doesn't occur to them to reccomend we eat the now abundant soy we can't sell to China since Trump fucked the shit out of world trade by embargoing his own country with tariffs.
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:
"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."
"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.
Then covered it up again when caught.
Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

We could send a forensics team to mar-a-largo and the island with a ground penetrating radar system, just pay for them to live there for years looking for bodies and evidence, and still not crack a significant digit of the ICE budget.

They shot a woman named Good, and a man named Pretti, what's next a child named Justice?
I don't believe in any sort of godly figure or higher intelligence making the universe just so for us, but I do think they are ignoring some pretty strong signals here.

Anyone looking for another reason why this brinksmanship over Greenland is a bad idea? ~70% of the insulin in America is made by Novo Nordisk, a Danish company.
Lilly does make insulin as well but IMHO (as an type one diabetic) their formulations suck. Assuming they can even ramp up production?

I know THEY want a civil war, but can we seriously just keep letting this happen until the mid-terms?
FB in an enclosed space is a deadly weapon, anyone with as much training as I have had (none, video games) would know that.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

I love how the photo is selling the, "I haven't even been to Geneva offishers." of it all.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

This is 100% on the nose analysis.
I would throw in that if you look at when the hand started to go to the weapon, while the vehicle was reversing, you can pretty safely assume the decision to fire happened before the car even moved.

So. We've learned a little more about the shooting, namely that witnesses report that the two ICEholes that got out of the truck gave the driver conflicting orders; one to leave and one to get out of her vehicle.
First, here is DHS Use of Force policy in full.

I've mostly been on the other place but between this and Oz saying they are going to pull Medicaid funding out of MN, I think y'all up there should be applying pressure on your 4 republican reps to put their state over their party and join the impeachment caucus.

Copper was pretty good skiing despite the lack of new snow, the steep terrain I like got icy in the afternoon and I managed to slip out. self arrested instantly but managed to slam my downhill knee into my uphill ski edge.
Probably just a cool bruise, leg seems to work fine.
